House passes continuing resolution to fund the government through Dec. 11
The House voted Sept. 1 on a continuing resolution (H.R. 6500) to fund the federal government through Dec. 11. The measure passed on a 370-48 bipartisan vote; the Senate passed its version by a vote of 90-6 on Aug. 8. The CR delays the Office of Management and Budget from finalizing its federal financial assistance proposed rule and prohibits any similar measure from being issued or finalized prior to Dec. 11. The AHA July 13 commented with concerns about the proposed rule, which would revise the Uniform Grants Regulation governing federal financial assistance. AHA members will receive a Special Bulletin with more details.
